Facebook recommendations on a Blogger site

If you share each new post on your business's Facebook Page, your readers already move between the two. Putting the Page's recommendations on the Blogger site closes that loop: people who arrive from a shared post read what other customers recommend without heading back to Facebook to check.

Sidebar or below the header for Facebook recommendations on Blogger?

Below the header, because recommendations are written comments and read poorly in a narrow column. Choose the sidebar only if a small badge is all you want there, a rating that stays in view on every post without asking readers to stop.

A gadget below the header appears on every page that includes that section, posts as well as the homepage, so open one long post afterwards and make sure the recommendations do not crowd its title.

Will a recommendation left after a shared post reach the Blogger widget?

On a paid plan, yes, usually within a day, since the widget checks your Facebook Page daily. On the free plan the gadget keeps showing the recommendations your Page had when you created the widget.

Either way there is nothing to change in Blogger. The HTML/JavaScript gadget holds the same code, so there is no reason to reopen Layout after a busy week of recommendations.

SEO + AI schema · paid plans

Review schema markup, on paid plans

Paid widgets add schema.org Review and AggregateRating JSON-LD to the page they sit on, so search engines and AI answer engines can read your Facebook reviews as structured data. Google does not show review stars for reviews a business shows about itself, so the gain is readability, not stars. The free plan shows the reviews without the schema. See how the schema works

How to Add Facebook Reviews to Blogger

Connect your Facebook profile in BlooTrue, pick a style, then paste one embed code into the HTML/JavaScript gadget on Blogger and publish.

  1. 1

    In Blogger, open Layout.

  2. 2

    Click Add a Gadget where the reviews should appear and choose HTML/JavaScript.

  3. 3

    Paste the BlooTrue embed code and save the gadget.

  4. 4

    Save the layout arrangement — the widget renders on the blog.

For a single post instead of the layout, switch the post editor to HTML view before pasting — Compose view escapes the code.

Where the Code Goes on Blogger

On Blogger the snippet lives in an HTML/JavaScript gadget, added from the Layout page through Add a Gadget in the section you choose.

Layout shows only a box with the gadget's title, never the reviews; the blog itself renders them once you save the gadget and then the layout arrangement. Width follows the section: a sidebar gadget is narrow, while a gadget below the header spans the full column. To put the widget inside one post instead, switch the post editor to HTML view first, because Compose view converts the code into escaped text.

If the widget does not show on Blogger

  • Code appearing as text on the blog means it was pasted in Compose view; open the post in HTML view, paste again and update the post.
  • If the reviews are missing after saving the gadget, check that you also saved the layout arrangement; the gadget change is not live until then.
  • Reviews look cramped in the sidebar? Move the HTML/JavaScript gadget to a section below the header so it gets the full width.

Still blank? Our help article Widget not showing covers the checks that apply on every site.

Facebook Review Widget for Blogger — Free, No Plugin

Embed Facebook reviews on any Blogger page with a single copy-paste embed code. Turn Facebook recommendations into on-site proof. Installs via the HTML/JavaScript gadget.

Where Facebook reviews help most on Blogger

Many local businesses run Blogger sites that have grown over the years: a services menu, a blog, a page per location.

Put the Facebook widget on the home page under the hero, on each service page above the call to action, and on the contact page beside the form. Blog posts bring in readers with a problem, a leaking tap or a cracked tooth, and a compact widget at the end of the post next to a Book now link turns some of them into customers. After pasting, check the site's caching or optimisation settings; some of them delay scripts, and the widget then appears late or only after a refresh.

About Facebook reviews in this widget

The Facebook widget embeds the recommendations left on your Facebook Page. Facebook retired star ratings for Pages in 2018, so there is no native Facebook star average; the widget shows each Recommends as a 5-star card and turns the Page's overall recommendation percentage into a 0 to 5 star figure for the header, both read from your Page. A customer leaves a recommendation by tapping Recommends or Doesn't recommend and writing a comment, which only works once Reviews are switched on in your Page settings. Many owners reach for Facebook's Page Plugin instead, an iframe of your timeline with no way to feature recommendations.

Facebook Widget on Blogger — FAQ

Is the BlooTrue Facebook review widget free for Blogger?
Yes. BlooTrue is completely free to embed Facebook reviews on Blogger. No plugin, no recurring fee, unlimited views. The free plan shows your reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer; paid plans remove the branding.
How do I install the widget on Blogger?
In Blogger, open Layout. Click Add a Gadget where the reviews should appear and choose HTML/JavaScript. Paste the BlooTrue embed code and save the gadget. Save the layout arrangement — the widget renders on the blog.
Anything specific to Blogger worth knowing before I embed?
For a single post instead of the layout, switch the post editor to HTML view before pasting — Compose view escapes the code.
Where should I place Facebook reviews on Blogger for the biggest lift?
The sidebar for every-page visibility, or a full-width gadget below the header.
Do the reviews stay up to date automatically?
Paid plans auto-sync your Facebook reviews daily, so the widget always shows your latest 5-star reviews without touching Blogger again. The free plan shows the reviews imported at setup.
Facebook only lets people click Recommends, so what rating does my widget display?
Facebook dropped numeric stars for Pages in 2018, so the widget does not invent a Facebook star average. Each Recommends becomes a 5-star card, and the header converts the Page's overall recommendation percentage into a 0 to 5 star figure. Both come from your Page, not from a calculation over the cards on your site.
Can I use Facebook's own Page Plugin to embed my recommendations?
No. The Page Plugin drops your whole Page timeline into an iframe and has no setting to show only recommendations, and Facebook's own tools cannot place them on an external site at all. The BlooTrue builder takes your Page URL instead and gives you a one-line embed, with no Facebook ad spend and no plugin required.
My Page has no Reviews tab, so where would the recommendations come from?
They only exist once you turn them on: open your Facebook Page settings, find the Reviews or Recommendations option and switch it on. Until then customers cannot tap Recommends and the builder finds nothing to import. A free widget holds the recommendations found that day; paid plans check the Page daily and drop the BlooTrue badge.
